WikiProject class rating
editThis article was automatically assessed because at least one article was rated and this bot brought all the other ratings up to at least that level. BetacommandBot 04:02, 28 August 2007 (UTC) I just wanted to comment on the first line of the introduction of this article where it says Rowdy Gaines is a "former American swimmer". He is currently a competitive age group swimmer, and currently an American. There does not seem to be any reason for the word "former" to be in that sentence. http://www.rowdygaines.com/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.175.253.81 (talk) 20:05, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

Verifiability
editThis article was suffering from an astonishing lack of proper sources, especially following editorialized comments. I removed comments that were not properly cited, added citations where I could find them and cleaned up this article as best I could. This is still a deficient article. I urge editors to refrain from adding information that cannot be verified and is not sourced properly. We do not publish original work on Wikipedia. God bless and happy editing.
